Stress?

Stress is
your body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by both
good and bad experiences. When people feel stressed by something going on
around them, their bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood. These
chemicals give people more energy and strength, which can be a good thing if
their stress is caused by physical danger. But this can also be a bad thing, if
their stress is in response to something emotional and there is no outlet for
this extra energy and strength. This class will discuss different causes of
stress, how stress affects you, the difference between 'good' or 'positive'
stress and 'bad' or 'negative' stress, and some common facts about how stress
affects people today.

Stress refers to the consequence of the
failure of an organism to respondappropriately to emotional or physical threats whether
actual or imagined. It is a state of alarm and adrenaline production,
short-term resistance, inability to concentrate and various psychological
disorders. There are two types of stress i.e. ‘Eustress’ and ‘Distress’.
Eustress is good stress which is required for desirable events in person’s
life. Distress is opposite of eustress which makes a person unable to cope up
with building stress leading to adverse effects

The term
‘stress’ was first coined by endocrinologist Hans Selye. This term has been popularized throughout the world. The symptoms of stress
may include poor concentration, irritability, excessive worrying, not able to
have a proper sleep, not following a proper diet, feeling of loneliness,
addiction to liquor or drugs, anxiety, procrastination and severe depression.
Thus stress causes a severe impact on the physical and mental balance of a
person’s body.

In today’s world globalization is
on the apex of development. Various industries, technology, ideas have sprung
up in recent years. This has increased the workload on people. People do not
